"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)
The world sees Christians differently than it did twenty years ago. Why? Because now we live in a world of moral relativism.

Spring has arrived and Mother's Day is just a few weeks away which means the Blooming Festival is just around the corner.
Folks working on the Nashville Blooming Festival are in full swing these last few weeks leading up to the 28th event.
